Considering an '03-04 Disco or LR3...

X2!! Or look in any metropolitan area where there is a proliferation of soccer Moms...

For a while there I was pretty hot and heavy on a LR3 or LR4. Seriously. a 2010 LR4 here in Atlanta was going for $~40k. Somewhere between 25~40k on the clock. Pretty much the exact same truck was for sale in Florida for $5k less. I saw it across the board for all the LR3s and LR4s. Heard of plenty of people getting deals in Florida. A lot of people down there that "just want it gone".

I assure you there are tons of soccer moms here in Atlanta, but the prices were holding until about 2 months ago.

Back on track. Yeah, at 5~7k you are getting a D2. Good luck.

Well as I mentioned above the big decision will be getting rid of the Ram 2500 or not. If so, I'll be in the 20k range for a LR...if not, still unsure. I was looking at the 2nd gen Xterras before to keep on the tight budget, just always wanted a LR. For my situation the best thing would be to ditch the truck and it's enormous amount of overhead for a clean used LR3 that can be a jack of all trades. Main issue is that the wife loves the big truck and is not excited about the looks of a LR...

I think your wife will like the LR3. I don't know of any woman who doesn't like an LR3.

I've decided to part ways with my LR3. Contact me if you're interested. I'm sure your wife will love it, mine drives the LR3 more than me!

I had a similar issue a few months ago. I first wanted to buy an older RRC or LR3 and keep my 09' silverado 1500 as my daily driver and for trailers.

When I went to look at a few used LR3's at the local LR dealer I decided, what the hell, I'll test drive an LR4 because I have always liked them. Well, for better or for worse, I ended up trading in my truck for the new LR4. They made me a good deal.

I love it. It's more comfortable than my truck, better mileage, it fits in parking spaces better. The only real draw back is the lack of a truck bed. I solved that issue by getting a Weathertech Mat in the rear, a hitch rack or I use my flat bed trailer. The LR4 even tows a little better than my truck, granted I had a half ton truck. I'm sure your 2500 will tow more than a LR4 but the LR4 does a good job for most things.

My advice would be if you don't need a truck bed often, that trading it for a nice LR3 or 4 is a good deal.
